My first shift in a class one on my own, turned up at the depot, sat on those lovely waiting room chairs with all the other agency drivers all waiting on their run. Clerk behind the desk asks us all if anyone has done their training on the ‘new Mercs’ yet (Actros about three weeks old and had been deemed too different to the Axor to be let loose in it without being properly trained how to use it). I had to stick my hand up and say yes, as I’d done my driving assessment in one end of previous week, assessor said then ‘I’ll sign you off on how to use one of these but they’re so new you probably won’t get to drive one for a while’. Ended up with a great first run from Livingston/Bathgate down to Annan in Dumfries & Galloway, completely uneventful apart from me chickening out of doing the return journey without having a 45 first, even though it had only taken me 2 hours to get there.
Hi Scott. Nice to see you again. That road that you're parked on for unloading, and you said it looks quiet. More like the M6 of tractors🤣 I'm not a lorry driver, I was a secretary before taking retirement. The nearest towing job I did was going solo towing the caravan after my lovely hubby passed away five years ago, then waiting until I could go out after covid lockdown. Anyway, I bought a new car, a Ford Focus, with only 9 miles on the clock, bought in 2021. A couple of months ago, I decided to go out because I'd had enough of Mr Landscape Gardner next door decided to get his drill out, again, and I couldn't take it, so took a trip to Oswestry, to be exact, The Great British Ironworks (I live just outside of Manchester). Driving along, and just coming round the bend, and the traffic had come to a quick stop, so, thankfully, I always leave a large distance between myself and the vehicle in front, so I stopped with no problem. No so much the chap behind me. He didn't stop, and went right in the back of me. We swapped details and away I went, stopping on the way to report the accident to my insurance company. I took it to a garage about a 10 minute walk from where I live. A couple of hours later, they rang to say, sorry its a right off. After 50 years of driving, that was my very first crash, and not even my fault😵💫. Anyway, that's my little story🤣. Going down a narrow street, with bunting, and taking most of it down. Its one of those days when you literally cringe, but you can laugh about it in years to come🤣
Hi Scott 👋 hope you are feeling better Phil as had the same as you cold and flu.nice to see you back and enjoying your trucking.them lanes looked a bit narrow but you made it look so easy.take care and I hope to see you next year Phil.👍🇬🇧🍀😁
I was a night driver, delivering to Volvo dealers all around the midlands, (I had keys to get into all of them!) However I would pick up the truck part loaded and drive to Northampton for the rest of my load. This was a posh office with a small warehouse attached, with only ONE door. So me and my colleagues had to hustle for somewhere to park to load up. We also had to await the arrival of the trunker coming up from Kent. so it was always tight in the yard (actually the car park for the offices). Invariably I was the last to arrive having visited another yard on the way. So this one night, the only place I could find was slap against the beautiful marble steps outside the main entrance to the offices. I had a load on the tail lift, when suddenly instead of going up, it came down with a hiss and a sudden bump. It sprayed hydraulic fluid all up the steps, spreading nicely on the marble. I got my boss out of bed to tell him what had happened. I called the standby driver (I was also running the traffic office at night from my cab) told him to bring the biggest van on the fleet and help me. The rest of that night I ran a shuttle with the van to the truck and took several loads out to the customers, looking in awe at the truck stuck there right in front of the entrance still with oil dripping out of it. it was a real mess, because with the tail lift on the floor, the truck couldn't be moved. The next night I had an uncomfortable interview with the warehouse supervisor. "Well what would you have done?" I asked the stern faced man. He grinned and said: "the same as you did. The main thing is the dealers got their parts." The stain was there for weeks, a reminder of that night. There you go, not exactly exciting, but I had only been in the job a few weeks and had to decide on a plan of action on the spot.
You can fit a switch on the dash and program them in on the Actros 5,that goes for any switch and you can move them on the dash panels to where you want them,for instance the light switch that is right bottom near the loading light can be moved to the top of dash or any position you like
Good to see you back , hope all is well. Took the side off a zafira on my 4th shift , might drop you a line if I still have the pictures . There's a lot more too that when the Police arrived !!
was in a Man demo for the last week.. 2 hrs before I realised the driver cup holders were pull out, and adjustable, so could fit both my holy shakers in it.
Great Vid Mate, hope the misses is doing ok too. When you were riding through Narberth and said about the bunting across the road I immediately said Oh No, I knew exactly what was coming lol. Wow totally different seeing you on a bike lol, I shall definitely check out your other channel. Looking forward to the next one already.
Another good video trucker grow your Tash more as gel it too, I do love Welsh road plus we do love tight routes to farms lol, keep these videos coming mate
Hi Scott, I have been waiting for this story since you did the one on your 1st day in class😉 I have to laugh when you said about the bunting in Narbeth and the height of your trailer 😂 I saw the Snowman going into the fairgrounds at the end of the 1st Smokey and the Bandit film 😂😂 I'm starting with a new company on tippers on Monday, much closer to home and they go to truck shows as a company. Have a good week out and about, hope things are progressing well for your partner health wise too.
first shift in a 11+ car carrier on my own London city centre I went the wrong way and had to do a u turn smashed the tail light on tractor unit due to not being able to jack knife
Third day out in a rigid delivering pallets of paint to Crown units. Never used a pump truck before, the full pallet was max weight. Trying to manoeuvre the pallet to the back tail lift and the pallets it pulling me down the bed and the subsequent pallet of paint went off the tail lift and crashed in to the Crown unit floor exploding paint allover. Sign me this pod please
Your first Class II job was probably the best thing you ever did. My guess is that company was 'Old School' I can almost hear them now...'Get him moving stuff around the yard' 'The odd run down the road to collect something' On the job training when you think no one is watching over your shoulder, the very best way to learn...no pressure. 'Eh Scott, jump in you can drive'. The fact you don't even think it was training even to this day, is probably the best training you have ever had. Next day, your first Class I drive, you think that's a coincidence? Proper 'Old School'...
Is there a way to look up your "daily time" on the didgi box? Yesterday they closed the m25 and I got in kinds of bother, I ended up with a driving time of about 9h and 50 mins, I know this because I got a "you've got 15 mins left" warning about 5 minutes before I pulled into the yard, I thought I might have been close because I couldn't remember exactly how much I'd driven before the first break but I couldn't work out how to see it or even if it's displayed if you press the down button, my job means I'm usually way way within the law, this was a freak event on a day with a freaky amount of drops so I never bother to really think about it, this is only the second time in a decade I've gone into the 10th hour
